Yesterday, I blogged about my little girl a little more than my boy. Last night Brayden had a baseball game. Brayden's attention span for the game is sometimes very short. The last few games he has been paying more attention and you can see it in the way he has been able to make plays. He plays 3rd base and bats 5th for a team that has the chance on Thursday to win the regular season championship.
I have learned that he really wants to make me and his mom are pround and tries so hard to please us and when he makes a little mistake he gets upset. I noticed last night as he came off the field one time, to the dugout he looked over at me to see if I was upset. He had made a play in the field but his throw was a little late. His arm is not quite strong enough yet to get it from third to first on a line, so he usually one hops it to the 1st baseman. I think he felt bad that he did not get the batter out. I was proud that he made the stop and the correct throw to first. As he headed into the dugout I gave him a thumbs up and I could see his countenace change as he realized that I was happy he made a good play.
He went 1 for 4 last night but had seveal RBI's and scored a late run that helped seal the win for his team. He ran all the way from first to home on a double and barely made it around the tag at the plate. He was excited. I was excited and happy that he was having fun.
